parse_file_header

Description:

public bool parse_file_header (Element element, Buffer buf, uint32 doctype)

Reads the first few bytes from the provided buffer, checks if this stream is a RIFF stream, and determines document type.

This function takes ownership of buf so it should not be used anymore after calling this function.

element	caller element (used for debugging/error).
buf	input buffer from which the file header will be parsed, should be at least 12 bytes long.
doctype	a fourcc (returned by this function) to indicate the type of document (according to the header).

FALSE if this is not a RIFF stream (in which case the caller should error out; we already throw an error), or TRUE if it is.
